Widely applauded as the best Julius Caesar ever committed to film, this 1953 adaptation was nominated for six Academy Awardsincluding Best Picture, Cinematography, and Musical Score (Miklós Rózsa)and won for Best Art Direction. Fresh from his breakthrough performance in A Streetcar Named Desire, Marlon Brando brings conviction and an intense physicality to his portrayal of Mark Antony that earned him an Oscar nomination. James Mason's Hamlet-esque take on the honorable Brutus garnered Best Actor honors from the National Board of Review, and John Gielgud's serpentine Cassius snagged a BAFTA nod for Best Actor.
